I'm a front-end web developer who creates responsive websites using HTML, CSS and JavaScript from design mock-ups. I'm continuously learning to improve my skills. 👩🏻💻
Networking is going to be crucial to landing your first job. If you can, try to attend developer Meetups around where you live (online or in-person) to make connections with other people. Check if there are any local Facebook or Discord groups for web developers as well. Also make sure to optimize your LinkedIn profile (linkedin.com/business/sales/blog/p...). There are also general tips on applying to jobs via LinkedIn that you can find online (example: if the job was posted by a recruiter or HR, message them in addition to applying online with a description on why you'd be a good fit for the role).
I think lack of Git skills is a bit nitpicky since that's a process that can be learned on the job (especially in terms of collaborating with teammates), but Github has free interactive courses: lab.github.com/
I took a look at your portfolio, and under the "My Work" section, I would switch the links on the images and the "Live Site" links. Make the main link go to your actual work, while the "challenge" should be a smaller link. Also putting your email on your site can opens the risk for getting spammed, so I would remove it or find a way to mask it (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21421948/protect-e-mail-address-with-css-only?noredirect=1&lq=1)

Definitely. I always try to join a meet once the opportunity arises. That's how I was able to meet the person who was going to refer me for a job.
As far as learning Git, I've been uploading projects on Github. So I'm not completely clueless.
And thank you for telling me about the email. I'll change that and the links.
